Hi,

i dont know any networkers and posting on any forums is really frustrating and nerve wrecking when you have a question that needs answering. i dont have any right now, but i was thinking about it during my study break and dont want to hit a brick wall with my exam being 3 days away.

would anyone mind pm'ing or posting their MSN address?
i'd be pleased as punch


-Dan

    That seems like an odd thing to say since you posted in a forum to tell us that.......

    The people on this site are really good about responding.

    If you ask a question then who ever is online at the time will try and answer it. But you may have to wait an hour or two as I know my boss growls at me for having the forum open at work icon_sad.gif

    But good things come to those who wait and we have a great set of guys here, right up to CCIE level, all (well most) with a great sense of humour.

    Welcome to the forum.

    well said. there is also a search feature where most of the answers to your questions can be found while you're waiting.

    90 minutes (40-50 questions)
    if I say something that can be taken one of two ways and one of them offends, I usually mean the other one :-)

    What books did you read? Odom? Todd's Sybex book?

    The questions you are asking are basic and should have been covered in any reasonable CCNA book.

    And hands on practice with real hardware (or even a simulator) to do a password recovery lab would teach you the couple register values you need to know.

    If you seriously don't know how to configure VTP or the difference between an access port and a trunk port -- and your exam is tomorrow?!?! -- you may want to consider putting off your exam until you do.

    That depends on what peaks your interest and what jobs are available in your area. Try a job search to see what employers are looking for in your city.

    The CCNA:Voice may open some doors -- you could be the guy running out to branch offices installing the UC520s for a Cisco Business Partner. You might even get to configure them once you show that you "know your stuff." The lab cost is going to be higher than CCNA:Security.

    The CCNA:Wireless is another one that could open some doors -- but unless you actually spend $$$$$ (<-- big bucks) on a lab you probably won't have the hands on skills to be useful to a Business Partner (unless there is a partner specialization that requires a CCNA:Wireless Certified employee).

    The CCNA:Security is probably the easiest (and cheapest to "lab up") of the CCNA Specializations. While the CCNA:Security may not open that many doors by itself, Security is a good skill to have and a good buzzword for your resume. Plus you could probably knock it out while you figure out and build a lab for one (or both) of the other 2 CCNA Specializations.
